Dana Wollman

As an intern, Dana answered Oprah's phone calls and once penned a rejection letter for Gerard Depardieu's eponymous cookbook. Yet somehow she landed in the far geekier profession of tech writing, first for Laptop Mag and, later, the AP. She received her first computer at four and spent the ensuing years indoors, playing Sim City, Sim Tower and, when she was really bored, Sim Farm. She sorely misses Conquest of the New World and rues the day her father beat Super Mario World while she was at sleepaway camp. An avid runner, she now spends time outside, but still uses an Excel spreadsheet to tally her mileage. It is her firmest belief that every photography nerd (or anyone, really) should find a way to go to the Galapagos.

Well, this is one way for an up-and-coming company to get people's attention. OnePlus, the Chinese manufacturer best-known for making a cheap handset with surprisingly good specs, is about to launch...

Toshiba just unveiled its back-to-school laptop lineup, and while mainstream notebooks are normally a bit of a snooze, there's at least one detail that makes these worth a second look. Everything in...

When Apple revealed that the next version of OS X would be called "El Capitan," I couldn't help but laugh. I think we all did. I mean, here we were expecting the company to name its new operating sy...
